And Melissa Mccarthy the leading lady of laughs. The have you ever been caught doodling when you were supposed to be working or at least paying attention . Conventionality wisdom says its a way to waste time. Recent studies suggest that doodle can can actually provide a real mental benefit which is why we chose to explore it in our sunday morning cover story. Just how many of us when we let our minds drift find that hour pencils drift right along with it . For the doodler, the canvas can be anything, a napkin, a margin, a soon to be discarded envelope. Yet for all of its ubiquity the doodle seems to be artistic equivalent of Rodney Dangerfield it gets no respect. Even the Oxford English dictionary reduces the doodle to a drawing made absent mind edly. And boy does that up society doodler santa barbara. You dont even like the dove knicks of doodling. I dont. Im not pleased with the definition. This is what your noted pad looks like. Yes. Convinced that doodling isnt a mindless activity. But instead engages the mind in a way that helps us think. So much so shes written a manifesto of sorts called the doodle revolution. That lays out her case. Er. O. For her drawing infodoodle, aid in memory retention. By creating a verb call language that she insists more powerful than most people know. Ive seen people tackling serious challenges they inof table go straight to the white board or wall start mapping it to have a more effective conversation. Then you have that visual explanation for people to understand. What is really happening. Her austinbased Consultant Company now offers doodling workshops. Her clients are major retailers and Media Companies who are starting to catch on. The doodle she says still has doubters. There are skeptics everywhere. I encounter them all the time. I love them. What do they say . All the usual stuff. Waste of time, mindless scratching. They say everything that you would expect them to say when you misunderstand and you underestimate something. Andrew stopped underestimating the power of the doodle after he realized hed been doing it most of his professional life. For me it was something more. I think it was rather important. Over career that spanned three decades in asset management, he amassed oodles of doodles. Drawn when he was leading important financial meetings. All over the world. This was a meeting with a bunch of Senior Bank Executives to talk about budget issues. The longer the meetings the more detailed the doodles. What do you think prompted that, were you bored . I any a way of staying engaged. Kept from you checking out. Definitely. Because why . What happens in your brain do you think . I suspect it occupied me from thinking about other stuff. That notion that doodles may open the door to better concentration has been getsing attention of researchers of late. In a study published in the journal applied cog any sieve psychology in 2009 researcher played a tedious voice mail to a group of volunteers. Some were asked to doodle. While others simply listened to the message. Turns out the doodlers remembered 29 more details than the nondoodling group. Doodling has been grossly under studied. It is one of the most neglected daytoday activities. Jesse teaches philosophy of the mind at City University of new york. He has blue hair is as much trademark as his obsession with doodling heads. Theyre all scrap paper. On some sheet. Great environmental message here. Drawn thousands of them. All while he was supposed to be paying attention to Something Else. Every single picture you see here was drawn during an academic lecture. So convinced that doodling helped him remember the lectures better he encourages it in his own classroom. You want kids ton doodling while youre lecturing . Absolutely. You really do . Shrewdly. We should train people to doodle. Reason is simple. It isnt just a distraction may actually keep us from day dreaming and zoning out altogether. Think about mindless drawing as way to take all those things that distract you all those subjects that you clear them away. Opening the space where information can get in. Doodling is that sweet spot where it keeps you just doodling for the attentional sweet spot. What do you think makes doodler in somebody who just other than perspective a little closer toe hem we turn to our own artist in residents, morley safer of 60 minutes. Dont ask me what the hell that means. Says he does between five and ten doodles daily, his desk is covered them with from the obscure to the familiar. One of the things i like, im fascinated by new york are the water towers on top of buildings seem to give the city a real personality. Drawings by unconscious mind. Where the hand takes over. Does it serve some kind of purpose do you think . Very satisfying obviously. I mean it was perhaps why so many u. S. President s doodle. John f. Kennedy often doodled. Ronald reagan drew cowboys. Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton was caught doodling during a u. N. Counsel meeting. Mark twain, both were ha bit tall doodlers. A time when they were black and white proof that usually embarrassed artists wasnt really paying attention. While everyone agrees it warrants more study, it just may turn out that doodling is a window to clarity. Doodles define us, is that right . Tells us who we are. Or who were not. Lee next.

For that was the day president Franklin Roosevelt signed the servicemens readjustment act otherwise known as g. I. Bill of rights. Although the or still had just over a year to run, the government wanted to assure opportunities for returning men and women in uniform. The police cant handle them since the above all it wanted no repeat of the shabby treatment received by veterans of world war ii, whose march on washington in 1932 to demand promised compensation was met by active duty troops to disperse them by force. By contrast the g. I. Bill promised world war ii vets a raft of benefits outlined in special films, starting with help in finding employment. If they cant find you a job right away, youll be given 20 a week for up to limit of 52 weeks. Relatively big money for the time, as was the Educational Assistance for g. I. S looking to go to college. The government pays all of your school bills up to 500 a year. And Living Expenses of 50 a month. Or 75 a month if you have dependents. In 1947, nearly half the College Admissions in the United States were veterans studying under the g. I. Bill. And then there was the help the legislation offered to vets hoping to get a loan for their very first home. A benefit one film went to rather dubious lengths to showcase. Wait a second. What about the beautiful blonde . Dont tell me the g. I. Bill of rights guarantees every returning serviceman one of those, too . All told, nearly eight million returning vets did take advantage of one or another of the g. I. Bills real benefits, benefits that helped shape post war america for decades to come. Cowan ahead. From about 1873. Serena on the dawn of denim. Smoke . Nah, im good.

I also learned how Important Research and funding are if were gonna put an end to this disease that puts an end to the lives and memories of our loved ones. If you or someone you know is experiencing memory problems, confusion, or other related symptoms, see a doctor or visit nantzfriends. Org to learn more about alzheimers. Cbs cares. Cowan good jeans come in many styles and color these days with quite a range of price tags, too. But the most expensive jeans weve ever seen are the ones Serena Altschul managed to dig up with a little help. Wait, wait. I see dimples in the rivets. Okay. In the intricately woven world of denim this man, Michael Allen harrisa commercial painter from orange county, california, is sort of a celebrity. You cant research this stuff on the web. Nobody knows anything about it. Its like a mystery. Like being a detective. A denim detective. On weekends he hunts old mines in search of blue gold. Old jeans, really old jeans. The jeans of the old west, dirty, dusty, tattered jeans that can appraise for up to a hundred thousand dollars. This piece dates from about 187374 when the rivets on the top right here are unstamped. Theyre stamped only on the back. Oh, my goodness. Harris found this jacket. One of the oldest denim jackets known to exist, which lynn downy, the historian emeritus at levi strauss showed us. This has its previous life permanently imprinted on it. Theres such understanding and such respect and love for . These antique jeans are prized by designers because of their wear patterns. Today those patterns are recreated by jean designers like loren cronk for that all important lived in look. If you look at the way an old pair of jeans has been worn away or torn its sometimes easy to surmise what kind of early life it had. If there are really significant wrinkles on the back of the knee, for example, you can tell that the person either spent a lot of time on a horse or did some sort of job where he was bending his knees a lot. Cowboys wore them, so did bikers like the one Marlon Brando played in the wild one. Where are you going . What you got . As did the demonstrators that brought down the berlin wall. No other garment personifies freedom more than denim blue jeans. But jeans were originally workwear. They were the essential clothing of a hard day in the mines when jacob davis and levi strauss patented the idea to use a metal rivet to hold denim together. And those jeans were made in america like the rigid fabric from which they were cut. That is, until the 1990s, when companies likely vies began to shut down most of their american manufacturing. Not only levis its everybody. You might say they dont make jeans like that any more. That is you meet ray. I like the idea of the whole knack tori. Whole factory that im the mechanic and head designer. He is in fact a one man sweat shop. Slaper is 14 different machines, to make a single pair of jeans. Out of this one Room Workshop in oakland, california. A big deal because this is my denim. Have it custom made at one of the worlds oldest continuous operating den nill mills, engreensboro, north carolina. The fabric is woven on looms over 50 years old using a process that hasnt changed in hundreds of years. His jeans are not only made the oldfashioned way, in fact theyre designed to actually look better as they age, right down to the buttons. When they wear out, they get kind of copperybrassy color. Basically everything on the jean is made so that as it wears, it looks more beautiful than when its new. The cost for all this scrupulous attention to detail . A tidy 340. You see, in the venerable world of jeans whats old is new again, except a little more expensive. Jeans designed by matt and carrie eudemon son in nashville, tennessee. Matt and i both were always very in tune to this fabric. Their company is named after their grandparents, emma jean and willie. Of course, jeans like these require special compare. We encourage mainly due to small amount of shrinkage to not wash your jeans for six months. Believe it or not, others are even more particular about the care of their jeans. I think the extreme is to never wash your jeans. This sort of comes from the school that as miners and people wore their jeans, the indigo left the fabric and caused these amazing wear patterns just sort of evolved in to the jean. This is what you get when you dont wash, you know, like, who knows if this was ever washed . These creases are so strong that theyre actually breaking through here. I cant think of any other piece of clothing that elicits the kind of emotional response and memory that blue jeans do. Youre touching your own history every day. Youre wearing your own history every day. Thighs jeans may be torn, but woven in them is an American History of work and play. Cowan coming up. That the why i would never go through with a pregnancy. Cowan Chelsea Handler speaks her mind. And later one fine songwriter. Wants to know why i look so worn on holidays most people just drink. I have to drink and work. Its sunday morning on cbs. And here again is lee cowan. Cowan Chelsea Handlers frank, some times brash sense of humor on chelsea lately has won her a loyal following. Now news shes about to take her one liners to a whole new venue, tracy smith sat down with her for questions and answers. Its Chelsea Handler Chelsea Handler had an itch. A lot of people dont know this but chelsea lately is a classicallytrained actress. She no longer loved doing her own tv show. My best acting is every night on this show when i act like im interested in what im talking about a seven year itch. In april she scratched it. And announced the show would be sending. How are you feeling after seven years to be leaving . Fulfilled. Im teal very fulfilled. Fifty cents. And why not . Shes the only female late night talk show host on tv right now. Youre very, very cute. You know that, right . You have a boyfriend. Her program chelsea lately is watched by more than half a Million People every night. I feel like you may deserve me for a couple of minutes. Her five books or all best sellers. Chelsea handler. Her standupcome tours. I do like brush my teeth eight times a day. Chelsea needed a change. I had really good time doing this show and i probably stayed a little bit longer than i wanted to but i just had a feeling, oh, maybe, shy stay a little bit longer until another woman does a late night show. And then i came to the conclusion, thats not my responsibility. She was making her decision while men were playing late night musical chairs. Jimmy fallon nabbed jay lenos spot. In fallons seat is seth myers. Steven colbert will take David Lettermans change and grey ferguson will leave his. Where were you in all those discussions . Well, i mean, ive never wanted to do any of those jobs. I never wanted to take over for letterman. Obviously when that happened it was like, maybe there were there were definite phone calls but i never sat down said this is what i want to do. Never wanted to be Late Night Network tv show . Im not a network kind of girl. After all handlers known for saying whatevers on her mind she doesnt seem to give a bleep if it offends. You tweet, very amusingly. Like when she feuded with piers morgan. I want your viewers to know, you cant even Pay Attention for 60 seconds. Youre a terrible interviewer. So maybe no surprise that handlers next job is one even the cable sensors cant touch. Whats next . Next im going to netflix. Which is not a tv network. So help me god. Netflix is streaming Video Service with hot new shows like house of cards. And orange is the new black. I didnt want to be tied to doing sec by tee news. I want to talk about sports. I want answers to questions that i want to ask. Chelseas scheduled to create four documentary specials in 2015 then full time talk show in 2016. Its a big leap. Were you at all scared about stepping off that precipice . Im never really scared . Youre never scared . I dont have a lot of fearbased issues. Her fearless attitude developed when she was growing up in new jersey. You were pretty independent kid. Where did that come from . I didnt have a choice. My parents were they were there, physically, but they were over it. I was the sixth kid they were done with setting up play dates. So it made me feel like a total outkast because my parents just refused to participate in my childhood. My parents were like ceiling fan parents. They would be on a little bit then gist turn off. At the age of 19, chelsea left her family to pursue an acting career in los angeles. Wanted people to know who i was, i have a point of view thats different and i was going to prove it to everyone. I just think i wanted to be famous. She waited tables and started doing stand up. I take safety seriously, whether im on the streets or on the sidewalk. Tv shows like girls behaving badly soon followed then she broke through with a book about her one night stands. Fans were smitten. After the show ill sign the book. Make sure the book you have is my book, though. When we met her on tour in detroit she spent most of her time off stage signing books, more than 500 in the space of a few hours. I like to go on tour because i like to meet my fans. I like them toe see fee face to fay, putting in the effort and time not coasting on my laurels and being onstage in front of that many people who made money to see you is a responsibility. She goes, you dont understand what its like to be a mother. [bleep] hate that thats why i would never go through with a pregnancy. And what theyre paying nor is a 39yearold single woman who makes fun of everyone, especially herself. A woman who wrote a book called are you there, vodka . Its my, chelsea but is she really that mean . Or that drunk . I cant do this [bleep] sober. On my tour people send drinks up on stage. If i have a cup its clearly water like i always put it in a red plastic cup or glass because people want to think its vodka when its not necessarily vodka. How much do you really drink a day . A day . Yeah. Not as much as people think i drink. Yes, i drink. I dont drink every day. Im not hammered every night, hardly. At the same time you had this empire. When you joke about being a functioning alcoholic youre not really . No. I wouldnt call myself an alcohol i could be a functioning alcohol lick. A lot of people would say that. I may be. I dont think im an alcoholic. But i mean most alcohol licks dont think that, do they . How are you . Chelsea handler functions well enough to earn more than 20 million a year from tv, stand up comedy and book sales. What have you learned about money. Throw it away. I have no respect for it. If somebody needs a car i have no problem buying them a car. Have you done that . Yes. More than once . Yeah. Ive bought homes. Ive bought cars. Ive bought any just the right thing to do in my mind. She is the first person that gave me a brand new car when we first started working together. Did you have a nice weekend . I had a great weekend and i have videotape to prove it. Roll it chuy bravo has been chelseas onair sidekick since the start of her show. What should people out there know about chelsea. That shes a very loveable person. Inside of her heart i know she loves me. I dont like to be thanked. I like the feeling it gives me when i do it. Youre blushing a little bit. Im stalking how great i am. Its embarrassing. What a generous person i am. I asked. I am. It didnt just come out november where. Now everyone knows the truth about where Chelsea Handlers headed but the secret she still keeping may be even more interesting. The drunk, mean girl is actually pretty nice. Cowan next, a meal that the cats meow. Here creates Something Else as well jobs all over america. Engineering and innovation jobs. Advanced Safety Systems technology. Shipping and manufacturing. Across the United States, bp supports more than a quarter million jobs. When we set up operation in one part of the country, people in other parts go to work. Thats not a coincidence.

Cowan when a restaurant in one World Capital not about the food and all about the atmosphere. Seth doane sends thus postcard from tokyo. Its definitely dazzles with 850,000 l. E. D. Lights, 250 plus tv screens, larger than life robots and, well, plenty of ladies. Attack yes, sirs robot restaurant lets just say the food is secondary. That seems to amuse some more than others. But it certainly draws a crowd. Namie osawa is performer, provocative dresser and owner. Why are robots attracting so much attention . Men have pretty standard youthful dreams, she told me, theyre in to robots, theyre in to sexy girls, i wanted a place to capture all of the youthful fantasies ever our potential customers. She sure got that down, australian, michael ref, said it was the best thing hes seen in japan. What did you like about the show . Well lots of scantily clad girls, that always helps. Establishments are trying to stand out amid the bright lights of this mega city of 13 million, thats seemingly enough people to make an audience for just about any fetish or fascination. The subterranean restaurant the lock up. Its quite a dining experience. It mixes themes, part prison with diners eating in cells and part haunted house, complete with a brief monster jail break interlude. What you cant appreciate here is the smell of gun powder in the air here in this restaurant. And gunfire. The drinks are their own show. Wow. I think ill go with this syringe drink. But its not exactly a culinary highlight. If you prefer some peace and quiet and a lot of cats, join the 120 people or so daily who come to this cat cafe. Its so popular, managers say, because of the tight spaces in this expensive city where many landlords dont allow pets. Its 10 an hour for unlimited petting and while we didnt see many customers eating, this cat got a cake for its sixth birthday. Yoshino, a bartender bought the cake, she comes three times a week for up to five hours at a time. With all of the stress and strive of work, she said, i come here and forget about it. While the customers may be at peace, the cats, well not always. There are 16 cat cafes in tokyo which is why otani saw an opportunity. His restaurant serves burgers and keeps pet goats, yes, goats, named chocolate and cherry. Customers can walk them down tokyo streets. Why, of all animals, did you choose to have a goat cafe . Goats have long been a symbol of calm, soothing and relaxation, he said. But perhaps its not so relaxing far those in charge of keeping the potted plants alive along the route. Back at the robot restaurant, we asked osawa why there were so many themed restaurants in tokyo . They cater to individual passions, she told us. If you want a cat but you cant have cats or if you have these fantasies about robots, well, you can go to a place and its fun. Yes, if cats are not welcome in many tokyo apartments, imagine the neighbors here. Cowan just ahead. Amateur night that cowan its a talent competition thats been around 80 years long before reality tv not all the amateurs participate go on to stardom and proudly say they got their start at the apollo. Anthony mason is our ticket inside. Going to be a little bit sensitive as dentist in new york city, hes an artist in other peoples mouths. But hes also an artist with his own own. You have another identity. Yeah, i do. The other dr. Hashimoto made his debut at harlems Apollo Theater two years ago. What was it like to go up there. It was intimidating. He entered the apollo as amateur night competition. And won. After winning realizing that im a part of this history at the apollo and seen the other names are on that list, i cant believe that it happened. The list of amateur winners at the apollo includes billie holiday. The isley brothers, Jimmy Hendrix and the jackson five. Ella fitzgerald was one of the first. Her prize, 25 and weeks work. Oldest continuing amateur hour, amateur night i think in entertainment. Dick parsons is chairman of the Apollo Theater foundation. We dont want to be a museum. Were not just about celebrating things that have happened in the past. When the 1500 seat theater on 125th street opened as an entertainment mecca for harlems black community in 1934. Quickly became an incubate for for africanamerican talent. Long before American Idol gave birth to the slogan, where stars are born and legends are made. Do you remember first time you walked in to this theater . Yeah. It was like, the apollo. You heard so much about it. It had a life all its own. It was worldwide. Gladys knight was 15 when she and the pitches first played the apollo. We were so proud. We started off being the opening act because we didnt have a record back then. Well, every beat of my heart had just come out. It was flying off the charts. We had but two songs. So what did you sing . We did every beat of my heart and a song called what you going to do. Knight took the stage again this month as the apollo celebrated its 80th birthday. What was it about this theater . It was a proving ground. You learned so much here. They didnt just put you on stage they critiqued you. They gave you what you needed to get better. Thats how the pitches got into dancing f. There we went, i give thanks to them and training and care this they gave us right here at the apollo. Also performing that night with host wayne brady was 13yearold blind keyboard phenom named Matthew Whitaker who played like the Second Coming of ray charles. Matthew won amateur night when he was just nine. My number is 170. Contestants come from all over have to audition to get in. You auditioned right here in this room. Exactly, yeah. In front of two judges. 24yearold sun lee is a beat boxer. He makes music with his mouth. And this year he has won the first two rounds of amateur night that hes performed in. I want to win the whole thing, of course, ive still got a ways to go. A psychology major in college, lee gave up his job in las vegas to beat box full time in the new york subways. Not an hes hes crowd. But if you can grab their taken with something unique they will stop for you. At the apollo at least he didnt have to compete with the trains. But its actually kind of similar because the audience is the judge, both for the apollo and the subway. The crowds are encouraged to express their opinion loudly. And their noise measured by a meter over the stage determines the winner. Will it be sun lee [ applause ] he scored a 91. If he can win twice more hell be the annual amateur champion. And like dr. Hashimoto will walk away with a big check. The winner gets 10,000. Thats pretty nice. Its great. Can pay off my student loans. For the winners, amateur night at the apollo is often life changing. But dr. Hashimoto who now has a band has not given up his day job. You laughlin test re. I do, yeah. Where does singing fit in . I love singing, too. And actually i do sing sometimes when im working on patients. You do. Yeah. How thrilling was it to win at the apollo . I tried to make sure that i remembered every moment of it just because it was one of those things that never in a million years do you think its going to happen. Congratulations income. Cowan next, here is to the grad what watt. What if im a jason was like, what . I have a plan. Later. Laughing matters. With Melissa Mccarthy. Cowan every College Graduate has someone to thank. The grad Steve Hartman talked to had one very special thank you in mind. This really shouldnt be happening. Statistically, as a foster kid, gina pearson was more likely toe wind up behind bars than under a mortarboard yet here she is, graduating from Rutgers University in new jersey with a degree in social work. Congratulations. [ applause ] with a masters ahead of her and so much baggage behind her. See, gina didnt live in just one foster home. I would always act out or something and then get kicked out of the home or just run away. How many times would that happen . A lot, like 30. Thirty . Yeah. First grade right through high school where freshman math teacher Cherylyn Straubmuller remembers her behavior all too well. She had her own voice, wanted to be heard. Sounds like youre putting a positive spin on this. Sounds like a nightmare actually. She was rough at first. She was very rough at first. Shes in the classroom and the next thing i know i get hit upside the head with a golf ball. She threw a golf ball at you . She hit me in the head. That was just one episode. Mrs. Straubmuller had dozens of other reasons to suggest gina for expulsion but instead she took a different tact. She sent me an email and she asked me to babysit the kids. To babysit her kids . Why would she trust you . I think she just saw something that i didnt like even see in myself. And cultivated it long after gina was out of class. She would sit with me, she had Something Else to do wed just talk. Helped me find myself. She encouraged gina to buckle down, talked her in to going to college and the rest, is future. Im so proud of her. Shed mate her own way. She realized what brains she had and she finally used it. Thats the best part about it. This graduation season every kid under cap and gown should be able to point to at least one person who made it all possible. Congratulations. Thank you. And if theyre as wise as their degrees suggest they will take ginas advice to not just say thank to you that person but to show thank you. Continuing to strive for success and for greatness, thats my thank you to her. I love you. I love you, too. It looks a little strange but does keep me from snoring. What makes it so hot. Leave it on.

[ laughter ] its sunday morning on cbs. And here again is lee cowan. Cowan thats Melissa Mccarthy in mike and molly just renewed. Shes becoming regular in the movies, too. Getting her laughs with her special brand of comedy as mo rocca shows us. What are you doing . How did you get to be so fearless. Just probably really dumb. Melissa mccarthy has become one of hollywoods leading ladies. I put up my sexuality through motion. Then starts going, its all youll get it. Playing roles that arent exactly ladylike, at least not in typical hollywood terms. If somebodys doing something and youre laughing at the same time its youre so embarrassed for them. Its my absolute favorite type of laugh. You kind of have to be willing to act and look like a wreck in certain scenes . I think youre supposed to be the butt of the joke.

My English National team has overcome their longterm commitment to mediocrity dragging themselves in to the world cup semi final against long time nemesis in both war and football, germany. The day of the game remains one of my lifes most frustrating. I wasted an afternoon driving maines rural back roads from one sleepy back woods bar to another. All were broadcasting the local portland Minor League Baseball game. The preinternet age i had to wait for the next days boston globe to discover the bitter results. The favorites have got through by narrowist of margins. England had lost on penalties. Back then United States was footballs final frontier. Just like space for captain kirk, a game inescapably doomed to experience only false dawns and empty promise. Forever americas sport of the future. I moved to the states shortly afterwards and have watched with wonder as the profile of the world cup has painstakingly risen tournament to tournament. We now live in a nation in which demographers have determined soccer is the secondmost popular sport for those aged24. The United States is a bona fide soccer nation. And the 2014 world cup will empower the sport to complete its take over. Even the rural maine bars of old will be tuning in. The night states may have been slow toe warm up to soccer but it has caught up fast. Who couldnt love what the sport has to offer.
